The river is mightier than the sea.

New Brunswick’s Miramichi region is famous for its proud Aboriginal, Acadian and Irish heritage, all of which are celebrated here with fascinating historic sites and museums as well as entertaining festivals and concerts. But the real claim to fame is the Miramichi River’s world-renowned Atlantic salmon fishing. Royalty, rock stars, prime ministers and presidents alike have all come to fish the mighty Miramichi and many return every year for both the salmon and the beautiful, serene natural setting. The Miramichi Salmon Conservation Centre offers a greater understanding of the Atlantic salmon or if you’re just in the mood to sample the fare, local restaurants serve the salmon river-fresh and plenty delicious.
